Love can grow from the last grain

I quite enjoy seeing people's lifestyle kinda posts in mini pictures so thought I'd show case a few of my own that have been lurking on my phone.

1st row: An outfit I wore recently, my mug, one of my wardrobes which now has even more in it
2nd row: Organising my buttons into jam jars (only a fraction of my collection there!), Card I made my Mum for her birthday, The latest addition to my shop which has since been bought
3rd row: Pic 1 & 2 Matching bed covers!, Tea & Marble cake from Bunty's in Lincoln - YUM!
4th row: Decorating a rented house, Pretty teabag rest from B&M Bargains, Today's Primark buys (I think I have a problem!)

It's The Little Things

So if you watched my Youtube haul video yesterday you'll know I said that I won some things over the past few days. It's just these little victories in life that make you smile and god knows I've been needing some kind of pick-me-up recently.

I've been entering a few competitions and giveaways lately because Emma from Purpleeerose wrote a post on her wins which really inspired me, and Victoria from Victorias Vintage seems to be lucky in winning things too.

I'll start with my prize from Hannah Zakari, which arrived moments after submitting my video to Youtube. I never expected them to send it as recorded mail, neither did I expect to receive as many goodies as they included! I'm completely overwhelmed :)



I clearly didn't read what I would win properly. I thought it would just be one item, not all 4 variants! As well as those stunning nail stickers - right up my street(!), postcard, blogger project postcards of some stunning bloggers who I already follow, and a catalogue too which also included some stickers. I am so, so pleased. My day was made :) Thank you Hannah Zakari! Anyone thinking of buying from them totally should. Everything is of the highest quality and made so well :)


Next up I won a Treat Box worth £10 from Patisserie Valerie via Twitter!




I was under the impression that I would just get what I was given but no, I was given free reign! That scared me somewhat and as you can see it ended up being all cakey cakes and mostly of the chocolate variety. Lots of people were jealous let me tell you ;D

I also won the Red Spotted Hanky competition via Twitter which won me £10 credit. Bloody fantastic!

And as another Victory the wine coloured lace Dorothy Perkins dress I blogged about on a Wish List the Wednesday before last momentarily came into stock in my size. I was quicker than lightning adding it to my basket, applying the 25% off code bringing both store pick-up fee (can anyone else believe they do that?!) and dress down to £20. I used a gift card I had from Christmas which stated a £10 balance and to my absolute joy found I had nothing more to pay. There was actually £20 on the card. SCORE! So the beautiful dress I was pining over is mine for absolutely nothing! It did however come in a torn package bag so it must have been sent back by another customer but I shouldn't really care because it didn't cost me a single penny :D

Winning.

So thank you to all those involved, you have made me a very happy little Jenny Wren :) x
